Donald Trump’s Most Controversial Tweets: June 25 to July 1 Edition

President Donald Trump has made it a habit of tweeting whatever comes to his mind. Many of the POTUS’ tweets have drawn criticism for personal attacks against people and business who don’t align with his own ideologies while others have drawn criticism from personal rights groups, his opponents, his own party, and various other groups.

In this new Sunday series, we examine the most controversial, confusing, out outright incorrect tweets sent from the official @RealDonaldTrump Twitter account.

This weeks edition features Tweets psoted from June 25, 2018, through July 1, 2018.

Attacking A Private Business

The Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows (badly needs a paint job) rather than refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside!

In this tweet, Donald Trump attacked the Red Hen Restaurant after it’s owner refused to serve Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. While the Red Hen was not free of fault (its owner heckled Sanders even after she left the restaurant), Trump came under criticism for using his position to claim the restaurant wasn’t fit to serve customers. Our very own Ed Krassenstein wrote a post about the positive reviews the restaurant has received, including reviews about the cleanliness of the restaurant.

Tweeting About Detainment Centers

Such a difference in the media coverage of the same immigration policies between the Obama Administration and ours. Actually, we have done a far better job in that our facilities are cleaner and better run than were the facilities under Obama. Fake News is working overtime!

President Trump has come under increasing fire for his treatment of children who have been ripped away from their parents. On June 25, the President claimed that his internment camps are better run than President Obama’s. The President’s tweet was met with anger after numerous reports suggested that children were being tortured and threatened by employees at various facilities.

Attacking Companies Suffering Under Trump’s Trade War

Surprised that Harley-Davidson, of all companies, would be the first to wave the White Flag. I fought hard for them and ultimately they will not pay tariffs selling into the E.U., which has hurt us badly on trade, down $151 Billion. Taxes just a Harley excuse – be patient! #MAGA

After Trump’s trade war led to reciprocal tariffs from the European Union, it was revealed that Harley Davidson would be opening a new plant overseas. The company said Trump’s tariffs are adding $2,200 to the cost of its motorcycle exports. Harley Davidson is expected to report a loss between $40 million and $100 million under Trump’s tax cuts.

The President, despite massive losses for the company, accused the manufacturer of “waving the white flag.” Trump, in this tweet, once again fails to acknowledge what economists have been saying all along, a trade war is bad for American businesses who deal in international trade.

A Drunken State?

Why is Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), perhaps in a near drunken state, claiming he has information that only he and Bob Mueller, the leader of the 13 Angry Democrats on a Witch Hunt, knows? Isn’t this highly illegal. Is it being investigated?

Donald Trump has no problem slandering the people he doesn’t like. In this tweet, sent out on June 25 (apparently a busy tweeting day for the President), Trump claimed Senator Mark Warner was drunk after he claimed to have information that will likely hurt Trump in regards to the Russian collusion investigation. Once again, Trump attacked the “13 Angry Democrats” who are working on the “Witch Hunt.”

It’s important to note that Mueller, Wray, and Rosenstein, are all conservative Republicans, something Trump has repeatedly denied.

Total Transparency From The Least Transparent President In History?

The hearing of Peter Strzok and the other hating frauds at the FBI & DOJ should be shown to the public on live television, not a closed door hearing that nobody will see. We should expose these people for what they are – there should be total transparency!

The Republican Party under Donald Trump has made it a common practice to hold closed-door meetings in regards to tax policy, immigration, and various other issues. President Trump in this June 25 tweet claimed the Peter Strozok investigation should be streamed to the public.

Keep in mind this is coming from the President who has refused to release his tax returns, has attempted to place a gag order on a porn star he had an affair with, and has repeatedly held closed-door meetings, including a one-on-one with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un that went against established policies to have at least one Presidential aide in attendance at every meeting.

Tariffs Are Actually Increasing

….We are getting other countries to reduce and eliminate tariffs and trade barriers that have been unfairly used for years against our farmers, workers and companies. We are opening up closed markets and expanding our footprint. They must play fair or they will pay tariffs!

We’ll just call this Trump tweet what it really is #FakeNews. China responded to Trump’s increase in tariffs by issues more than $50 billion in tariffs on 545 product categories. Canada, Mexico, and the European Union have also followed a similar path, promising to retaliate against the United States for increased trade costs.

Soy prices for farmers have drastically decreased in recent weeks as China and other trade partners look to other countries to provide for their needed agriculture supply. At least one American producer of aluminum cans has said Trump’s tariffs will cost them $25 million per year.

Threatening Harley Davidson… AGAIN!

….When I had Harley-Davidson officials over to the White House, I chided them about tariffs in other countries, like India, being too high. Companies are now coming back to America. Harley must know that they won’t be able to sell back into U.S. without paying a big tax!

In another attack on Harley Davidson, Trump promised to punish the company if they attempt to sell their motorcycles back into the United States from other countries. It was an odd statement considering the company is only planning to open a new factory overseas to sell bikes outside of the United States. The tweet, however, was enough for Trump supporters to openly attack the company.

Trump followed up his Harley Davidson tweet by promising U.S. buyers would punish them.

A Harley-Davidson should never be built in another country-never! Their employees and customers are already very angry at them. If they move, watch, it will be the beginning of the end – they surrendered, they quit! The Aura will be gone and they will be taxed like never before!

Not Even Close To The Most Profound Question Of The Era

“The most profound question of our era: Was there a conspiracy in the Obama Department of Justice and the FBI to prevent Donald Trump from becoming President of the U.S., and was Strzok at the core of the conspiracy?” Judge Andrew Napolitano

President Trump has engaged in many cases of #WhatAboutIsm’s and this was no different. Trump claimed that the “most profound question of our era” was whether or not Obama’s Department of Justice attempted to collude against Trump’s presidency.

Trump, in this tweet, ignores Russia’s involvement in the U.S. election, a much more profound question.

Crowley Rises Above Trump’s Hate

Wow! Big Trump Hater Congressman Joe Crowley, who many expected was going to take Nancy Pelosi’s place, just LOST his primary election. In other words, he’s out! That is a big one that nobody saw happening. Perhaps he should have been nicer, and more respectful, to his President!

It’s absolutely true that nobody saw Joe Crowley losing to a millennial candidate who raised nearly 10% as much money for their campaign. However, Crowley was incredibly gracious in his loss and issued a concession speech that went viral.

Celebrating A Big Loss For Workers

Supreme Court rules in favor of non-union workers who are now, as an example, able to support a candidate of his or her choice without having those who control the Union deciding for them. Big loss for the coffers of the Democrats!

Collective bargaining has allowed Unions to secure better wages, health benefits and other needed benefits for millions of union workers. On June 27, Trump thanked the conservative SCOTUS for ruling that private sector employees no longer have to pay union dues. However, those workers still receive the benefits of collective bargaining and other union protocols. The biggest loss here is happening at the worker level.

Trump Just Can’t Shut Up About Harley Davidson

Harley-Davidson should stay 100% in America, with the people that got you your success. I’ve done so much for you, and then this. Other companies are coming back where they belong! We won’t forget, and neither will your customers or your now very HAPPY competitors!

After the Hardley Davidson story went viral, Trump continued to attack the American company, promising that customers would turn away and competitors would be very happy.

Trump has made it a policy to attack the likes of Amazon, Harley Davidson, and various other amazing American companies.

ICE Officials Asked For This!

In recent days we have heard shameless attacks on our courageous law enforcement officers. Extremist Democrat politicians have called for the complete elimination of ICE. Leftwing Activists are trying to block ICE officers from doing their jobs and publicly posting their…

Trump Sides With Russia. AGAIN!

Russia continues to say they had nothing to do with Meddling in our Election! Where is the DNC Server, and why didn’t Shady James Comey and the now disgraced FBI agents take and closely examine it? Why isn’t Hillary/Russia being looked at? So many questions, so much corruption!

Every major U.S. Intelligence Agency has said there was clear meddling in Trump’s election by Russian. Despite his own intelligence community making those statements, The President of the United States continues to believe Russian agents over his own supporters.

In another #WhatAboutIsm the POTUS points to DNC servers, James Comey, and a Hillary/Russia investigation that doesn’t exist.

Quoting Greg Norman? Remember His Defense Of Racism?

Just watched @SharkGregNorman on @foxandfriends. Said “President is doing a great job. All over the world, people want to come back to the U.S.” Thank you Greg, and you’re looking and doing great!

President Trump will thank any celebrity who supports him. After a Fox & Friends appearance, Donald Trump quoted Norman for claiming the President was doing a great job. You may recall that Norman once defended his own golf caddy who made a horribly racist remark against golfer Tiger Woods. This wasn’t a surprising tweet from Trump since he has condoned the “very fine people” of the Alt-right.

Foxconn And Billions In Subsidies

The new plant being built by Foxconn in Wisconsin is incredible. Congratulations to the people of Wisconsin and to Governor Scott Walker @GovWalker and his talented representatives for having pulled it off. Great job!

Apple’s manufacturing partner Foxconn has broken ground on a new Wisconsin factory that Trump says is a big win for workers in the state. The Wall Street Journaltells a different story. The company is receiving around $4 billion in subsidies. That works out to a government subsidy of $307,692 per job for each of the 13,000 jobs Foxconn says will be supported at the facility. It’s a good example of Trump handing a Chinese company billions in taxpayer dollars.

Nobody Wants Your Thoughts And Prayers

Prior to departing Wisconsin, I was briefed on the shooting at Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. Thank you to all of the First Responders who are currently on the scene.

Before President Trump even sent this tweet, users on Twitter were questioning how long it would take him to offer his “thoughts and prayers” over the deadly shooting. Instead of discussing issues of gun control more openly on Twitter, the President has used the same old and tired Republican approach of turning to religion in place of issues policies that drive real change.

Goodbye Due Process

When people come into our Country illegally, we must IMMEDIATELY escort them back out without going through years of legal maneuvering. Our laws are the dumbest anywhere in the world. Republicans want Strong Borders and no Crime. Dems want Open Borders and are weak on Crime!

President Trump came under fire on June 30 when he demanded the removal of due process for anyone crossing the border. Asylum seekers currently have one year to file an asylum request, often as they flee areas of political turmoil. This isn’t the first tweet Trump has sent about removing due process and it probably won’t be the last.

Those are some of the most controversial, strange, and just plain wrong Tweets from Donald Trump from June 25 to July 1, 2018. See you all next week! Sadly.
